See what the original ‘Star Wars’ trailers would look like if they came out today

J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the most successful movie of the year, at least when it comes to the hype that preceded its launch and the massive box office earnings that followed it. It’s likely that Star Wars fans would have seen the movies in cinemas regardless of how they were marketed but Disney’s clever ad campaign certainly helped.

Disney released a large number of action-packed trailers well ahead of the movie’s release, followed by a TV ad campaign containing numerous distinct commercials in the month before the premiere. Each short clip revealed a new detail without spoiling the movie, and Star Wars chatter increased as we got closer to the anticipated launch.

The trailers are similar to what we’ve seen in The Force Awakens trailers. They show plenty of action and the various characters involved in the movies, without spoiling the plot. Even the background music is similar to Force Awakens trailers.
